It's Never Too Late For A New Beginning In Your Life

I Am Sorry

NEXT DAY

I dressed up for the game. My hands were sweating because of my nervousness. Veer saw me and asked, "Are you ok Shayra?"

"Ah...yeah..I'm....I'm...ok"

"Then why are you feeling nervous?"

"Huh....who is feeling nervous? I'm ok ...you just focus on your game you idiot." I said and laughed.

I don't want to make him worried about me.

The game begins. At first I just play slowly not giving much pressure to my legs. Veer made a goal. Again I passed the ball towards other players and Veer made a goal again.

So basically we were the inner in the first half.

I felt a little strain on my knee. When the second half starts I felt the rise of pain in my knee. As a result I couldn't pass the ball to other members. The opposite team made goals and both of the teams scores are equal. The time was ticking and we have to made a goal to win. Considering the situation the last goal was in my hand. Everyone were cheering. I took a step a made a leap and throw the ball towards the basket. I fell on my knee and the pain made me pass out. It was an unbearable pain.

I opened my eyes because I hear someone scolding.

"Mr. Sharma I told you that Shayra can't play basketball it will make her injury bad. Why didn't you listen?" The doctor said angrily to my father.

When the doctor left pa came inside and looked at me.

I can't hold back my tears and I cried, "Pa I can't hold myself back. I am sorry pa, please forgive me."

Pa touched my cheek and said, "I know. But don't do anything stupid like this again because it will hurt you and I don't want to see you hurt yourself. Got it?"

I nodded.

I asked pa, "Veer didn't came here?"

Pa glared at me and said, "How can you be so stupid? What I can see why can't you see?"

I was confused and shocked at pa's behaviour.

He continued, "I know you love Veer, but Shayra it's time to wake up, can't you see that he doesn't love you? Don't you notice that he even didn't visit you while you were in the hospital even now also? Alright, you will soon find out about him, then don't regret."

"But pa I didn't even said something. I know about him and I was going to tell you. Also I want to confront him and tell him about my feelings."

"You know?"

"yes..."

*FLASHBACK*

I was happy and as well as sad because it will be my last game. I promised myself that I had to win this game.

I was passing by the men's toilet when I heard Veer laughing, saying, "Are you out of your mind? How can I like Shayra? You saw her body and character, more like a boy, there is nothing sexy or hot. Even her hair is short, whole body is boyish type. Hah....that idiot....I know she loves me, but I just stay by her side because she plays well. And my team needs a good player like her. It's impossible for me to like her."

Then one of them said, "But she said that her leg is not ok. What will you do if we lose because of her?"

"Don't worry we won't lose."

I suddenly became so nervous that my palms began to sweat and my legs were shaking uncontrollably. I control myself for the time being and get dressed for the match.

"You know pa, I was so hurt. I give my best to help him but at the last he...he...was just using me. I really don't care if he likes me or not but .....but why...why did he betray me....???why???" I cried loudly. I can't control myself.

Pa hugged me and said, "Don't cry, you are my precious, you will find someone better than him."

"Pa I want to change my school, I want to go somewhere far away from here. I want to start a new life without him and basketball. Please pa, you can't say no, right?" I requested pa.

"Yes whatever you like."

I exhaled deeply.

One day later I was discharged from the hospital. Pa wanted to send me to another school after the final exams. There I can also treat my leg well. Pa had talked to the principal so that I don't have to go to school. If it were earlier days I would sure feel sad because I can't see him, but now I don't care about him. Why do I care about someone who doesn't care about me? Why do I care about losing his friendship when he doesn't care about my friendship? I made my decision, I will start a new life in my own way leaving him and basketball behind.

After the exam I decided to tell him. I want him to feel how hurt I was. So I called him. He didn't pick up. Then after two three dials he finally picked up and shouted, "What?"

I asked, "Why are you yelling at me? If you are angry don't show me your anger."

"What?" his voice sounded like he was shocked.

"Anyways, I want to meet you at the riverside park at sharp 4 pm today. Just be on time please. This is my request to you."

I hung up the call, don't let him speak anymore.

That was the first time he was there on time. On other days when I tell him to meet me and gave him time he would always come two hours or one hour later.

I was sitting in a bench watching the sun throw the leaves of a low tree.

He sat beside me and asked, "What happened to you? Why did you want to meet me? And why were you showing me attitude at that time?"

I said nothing but remain silent. I was wondering if I could be able to tell him or not.

"Hey Shayra are you saying or not?"he poked me.

I sighed and said, "Veer I am going ton Canada."

"What? Are you serious?"

"yes. I am"

"Why?"

"Leave it. I think that will hurt you. I think. So basically today I want to tell you that I AM SORRY, because from now on you will have to guide your team without the best player."

"What are you trying to say?"

"I am saying that you wanted to befriend me because I am the best player in basketball in the entire school. I like you, but I heard that you always prefer those girls who have sexy bodies and have big boobs and behave more feminine... right?"

"UM.....Shayra .....you......see .....I didn't mean that..."

"Anyway I am sorry that I liked you. I am sorry for making your basketball team fall down from now on. Actually I am sorry for everything. I am sorry for entering in your life. Goodbye....have a nice journey in your life. If fate allows we will meet gain."

Saying this i turned around and headed to my home. I cried not letting him see my tears. I don't want to turn around and look at him because if I turn around I may not be able to control myself from hugging him.
